Well hello there! Glad you made it to my blog. A little about me - I am just like anyone else who has too much free time and decided to start a blog to document the positive(+) things in my life. I currently live in the hot and humid south with my two little boys, Muffin and Panda. Muffin is a tri-color Shih Tzu and Panda is a black and white parti Pomeranian. I love those two to pieces. I do have to mention my Yorkie, Kiki, who passed away in 2011 just 3 months from her 15th birthday. She ruled Muffin and Panda and really, anybody. Typical of Yorkies, she always got her way.
Things I love are food, baking, traveling, running, and most recently, lifting heavy. I am a fan of endurance running (but not full marathons, that's a bit too much endurance for me although I strongly admire all those who run it!)
and my goal is to not overdo it while steadily improving over time now to just have fun in races and finish within a reasonable time and will one day consider getting back to it as I find it very peaceful to leave my home with just a pair of sneakers and run around the city on foot. For now, I am putting all my energy into strong, which is lifting as heavy as I can and enjoying the ride. I am a big fan of
Soheefit and she has been a huge influential positive force in my life to balancing food, physical activity, and life itself all the while enjoying the journey to where I want to physically be.
Why the name Nuts and Vanilla? Well that one's easy. I love nuts (I have an unhealthy obsession with them, especially when it becomes nut butter) and vanilla is my all-time favorite flavor that doesn't require any specific mood.
Anyway, I'll try and keep things positive (who needs negativity in their lives?) and hope you enjoy!
